Chelsea have landed teenage striker Romelu Lukaku from Anderlecht in an £18million deal.

The Blues have been chasing the 18-year-old all summer but will now seal the transfer, subject to a medical and agreeing personal terms.

“He’s a very interesting young prospect,” said manager Andre Villas-Boas.

Yuri Zhirkov, who joined Chelsea from CSKA Moscow in 2009, has signed a four-year deal with Russian premier league side Anzhi Makhachkala.

Chelsea completed their pre-season programme with a 3-1 win at Rangers. Nikica Jelavic headed Rangers into the lead after six minutes but Daniel Sturridge’s first-half double and a header from Florent Malouda emphasised the gap in class between the sides.

Gers substitute keeper Neil Alexander, on for Allan McGregor at the interval, saved Frank Lampard’s penalty to spare the Scottish champions further embarrassment.

Rangers defender Kyle Hutton hailed Lampard, describing him as “one of the greatest players to ever play in the Premier League”. He added: “It’s not often you get a chance to play against players like that and teams like that.

“In relation to SPL teams, their touch is better, their movement is quicker, they are cleverer, they know where to be, they play at a high tempo and pass the ball quicker. It was amazing.”
